Lamentations 5 acknowledges hereditary sin as the Jews cry for God's mercy and restoration. "Our fathers sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment... our inheritance has been turned over to aliens... we are feverish from hunger... our women have been ravished... princes have been hung up by their hands... joy is gone from our hearts... retore us to yourself O Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old... O Lord reign forever!"
